A photo looks better on a hanging wooden frame poster mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that. Because it’s wood, the material shows through a little, which keeps the result believable.
Useful for photographers as much as for artists. One thing worth knowing: match the frame ratio to your print (A-series, 4:5, 2:3). Printing sellers get returns when the preview ratio is wrong.
Print sellers on Etsy and similar shops use images like this as the main listing photo, because buyers want to see the piece on a wall.

Editing the Hanging Wooden Frame Poster Mockup, step by step
- Pick the print you want to show: photo, illustration or typography.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Paste your design, resize it to fill the area, then save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close that tab.
- Try other artwork in the same room scene.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Keep the glass reflection layer on. It is small, but it’s what makes the frame look real.
